The Home

In summary

Mas Mateu is located near one of the most beautiful coasts of the Mediterranean: The Costa Brava. The sea is less than 10 km (less than 6.5 miles) from the property. The house is set within a natural reserve (Les Gavarres), surrounded by culture and history, plenty of well preserved medieval villages. It is the area of Salvador Dalí and some outstanding restaurants. The region is called Emporda known for the locals as the Spanish Tuscany. Emporda is a province neighbouring in the North with France, east with the Mediterranean, west with the local capital of Girona, and in the south is Barcelona.

Mas Mateu is a fully staffed luxury property. Mas Mateu is ideal as a family retreat with children, friends gathering or a corporate retreat.

Horse-lovers will be in seventh heaven too, as the estate includes a prestigious dressage school.

Location

The landscape of the Empordà is composed of the fields of sunflowers, rice, wheat and cypress trees, protecting apple orchards and fields. Among them there are medieval villages. Its coast combines a great choixe of sea towns, coves with crystal clear water, beaches, rugged cliffs and islands of biological interest such as the Medes. There is also an archaeological site of Ullastret Iberian and Greek and Roman Empúries.
The Emporda is a region with a rich culture and history, heavily influenced by its geographical position, like the border with France at the northeastern fringe of Catalonia and the Iberian peninsula, which has characterized it as a place of passage. The top exponents are Salvador Dali with his three museums and the medieval villages.
All these elements could not be understood without Empordà landscape, most of it protected, the Natural Park of Les Gavarres, the Marshes of the Empordà, Cap de Creus, the marine reserve of les Illes Medes, the Natural Park of the Albera and the Bassegoda area.

Nowadays, the Emporda is one of the top gastronomical areas in the world with the influence of Ferran Adria and his restaurant “El Bulli” in the past, and actually with Joan Roca and his brothers with their restaurant “El Celler de Can Roca”, known as the second best restaurant in the world with three Michelin stars.
